Shooting Beauty
(2009, dir. George Kachadorian)
Shooting Beauty tells the inspirational story of an aspiring fashion photographer named Courtney Bent whose career takes an unexpected turn when she discovers a hidden world of beauty at a center for people living with significant disabilities. Shot over the span of a decade, this film puts you in Courtney's shoes as she overcomes her own unspoken prejudices and begins inventing cameras accessible to her new friends. Courtney's efforts snowball into an award-winning photography program called "Picture This"—and become the backdrop for this eye-opening story about romance, loss, and laughter that will change what you thought you knew about living with a disability—and without one.
